It’s simple html but a very informative post for anyone who don’t already know how to do it. I would also warn people not to get to creative because I’ve seen attempts at changing font size, color, etc.

Dawud, love the blog and use it to improve my site whenever I can. I didn’t even know that you could include HTML in quotes. I will try it the next time. Thanks, Tom

CMS really helps out in HTML editing.. Most of the time i forget the tags and this will help me out in any way.

I feel like with the advent of CMS systems, lots of people can easily bypass learning basic html, since they don’t need it. I believe this is a double edged sword though because the knowledge of basic html can help in so many ways with understanding how web pages lay out and what is behind it. CMS make it easy for anyone to own a website, but these websites sometimes clog the tubes because they are poorly maintained.

That is a very good detailed step by step tutorial on how to simply put a link in by not knowing a ton about html. I have used log home builders a lot as a keyword link back to our website.
Thanks for the information.

Anyway, great post. It sounds as if several people were annoyed by the naked URLs. You actually did something about it.

I always use the live link as it is more professional and not at all hard to do. I Know that there are many people who are confused by this and so I use a plugin that simplifies things for them, but unfortunately it does not work on my latest blog because of the theme.

I don’t know why people are so afraid of allowing other peoples links on there sites. Sure Spam, but there is easier ways to eliminate spam than a no or zero tolerance policy on backlinks. Links are what makes the universe go round for us. Spiders love links. So do customers. Even the spammy links to see why such a fool would paste such and irrelavant remark or otherwise spammy comment.

It makes the internet fun for the user in the end with lots of links all over the place to lots of different sites. Even the bad ones. I know this may sound wierd but it is common pyschology that if you give the user what they need without fail every time soon they will get bored of the net. But, if you let them lose a few bets here and there then the wins will keep them coming back over and over again. It is a lot like information gambling.

I think this kind of a strategy works best in conjuction with captchas or sign up procedures on websites like this one or blogs.

I try and remember it is not about the webmaster it is about the user. And, if you have ever looked at a message board some users really do like to post their rants and frivolous writing on the walls. But, they are still the user even if they link to some spammy site.

And, who are we to judge best what the next user might need or even want in a direct link, who knows? But, let the user find out for his/her own.

It is a wierd mindset out there of people who want to deny, deny, deny on some moral high ground called Anti Spam, when really most of it is just amaturish pranks by some one time wonder learning the ropes. I mean the real spammers get caught and get hefty fines upwards of 320 million dollars for really causing someones site damage and disrupting the benefit of the user. But us little guys, we should all be supporting us little guys.

I do this on my site by providing the would be spammer a fool proof way to add their backlink to my site. It’s monotored and regulated and spam free. But, comments and what not I just let go and let the user decide whats appropriate and whats not. I can even see the development of the customer base through sifting through the comments now and again. I don’t even read them. They aren’t for me. They are for the other people.

Anyways, I say let the Damned be Damned and let the Righteuous be Righteuous. Cuz, it ain’t in my rights to judge them myself.

Hi Dawud, thanks for the tips, but somehow I don’t think I managed to get it to work. Here’s what I did fyi-penang

Getting the title attribute is useful as well – gives some description of the link as well as the main link text.

Am struggling with link generosity on my own blog at the moment. I’ve taken rel nofollow out of the name links but not out of the comment links. I need to get in there and figure out how to do it.

Gaje,
I’ve done the same thing since I began blogging. I felt it was something kind I could do for commenters as a thank you.

I learned to do this almost six months after I started blogging. Whenever I see comments with links in them, I usually edited them and take the link out of the comment. If they are wanting to link back to their blog or a certain page, they can do this in the correct field that shows up with their name. Most of the comments with links in them will usually end up in my spam folder anyways.

This is a great post for people to learn from. I hope to be able to read more of your post.
